Interesting reading this thread! I haven't got much in my collection, it's purely digital, but I'm very interested in the electronic artist Silver Distance, very little is known about the DJ/producer act but I've managed to get my hands on a first edition lossless 32kbps 96kHz dubplate rip recording of the 2009 "Fido" 7 inch. Happy to share the file if anyone sends me a message, I've found something new with every listen, a wonderful piece.
Rare Music?
I am a newbie to this site but I have been observing for quite sometime. I don't know if this topic has been brought up before, but I thought I would give it a whirl.
Anybody got any Rare music, maybe by a known artist or a not so well known artist that you think others would enjoy? Or is anybody looking for a rare recording? Do you have Orginal Albums in mint shape that your proud to talk about?
I have been a fan of music all my life and rare recordings used to be a BIG hobby of mine but it seems that in the past few years, rare recordings have become pretty mainstream. It's not hard to find a Live "bootleg" (that ususally sounds bad anyway) or a "Japanese" import of an album marked up 30 bucks with the same songs as the domestic recording - or what about that rare B sides that just show up on a Box Set.
But when it was hard to find, it was fun.
e.g.,
I just noticed that the "Grand Funk Railroad - Survival" Album was just released on CD here in the US. I heard this album when I was a kid over and over again (the Quadrophonic Stereo recording I might add) and I haven't heard or seen it sinceand for a while there I was looking pretty hard.
Not that I am a huge GFR fan, but it sure would have been nice to find this when it was still hard to find.
